Tip 1:
When painting over existing paint, it’s
important to know whether the old
paint is latex or oil by doing this simple
test.
Tip 2:
Run a brown paper bag over any (dry)
painted surface that feels rough.
Tip 3:
Add a little bit of this stuff to make
your latex paint go on smoother.
Tip 4:
Wrap your brush/roller in a plastic bag
to keep it from hardening.
Tip 5:
If your tape is old and won’t roll
without peeling, place it in the
microwave for 10 seconds.
Tip 6:
To limit your mess, spray paint an item
inside of a cardboard box.
Tip 7:
If you have a very small amount of
paint, use a Slob proof! pen.

Soak gunky paintbrushes in hot
vinegar for 30 minutes to clean them.

To avoid roller marks on furniture, only
go in one direction.
